Elections tend to be won by voters in the middle…
“Swing State’ voters….
Quietly Republicans ARE worried that the increase collection of legal problems with Donald Trump’s name attached to it are costing Trump support and Republican’s vote’s for the closing Midterm elections….
They are fearfull that Republicans will have Democratic and swing voters casting ballots against a not running so far wrecking ball Trump who is in the media as a GIANT fight against their government, laws and rules they have to follow….
“Any candidate that tries to distance themselves from him over the legal stuff risks him attacking them and costing them base voters. It’s a mess,” Eberhart complained.
Sam Nunberg, who worked on the early stages of Trump’s 2016 campaign but has had a checkered relationship with him in the years since, viewed the recent developments through the prism of a possible 2024 bid.
Nunberg said Trump appeared to get a “bump” of sympathetic support among some Republicans in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago raid but it appears to have subsided.
“I just can’t see the Republican Party nominating someone who lost the previous election, could only serve one term, and is under multiple investigations and possible indictments — especially when there is an obvious alternative,” Nunberg said, referring to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
Trump also deepened GOP dismay when he made the bizarre claim, during a Wednesday evening interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, that a president could declassify secret documents by “thinking about it.”
At least four GOP senators, including Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) dissented from that view in separate comments to CNN reporter Manu Raju.
Trump has responded to his various legal setbacks with rage — often a sign that the former president is feeling the pressure.
Reacting to the suit filed in New York, Trump described James, who is Black, as a “racist” and a “fraud.”
In relation to Georgia, the former president took aim at Willis soon after her comments about “jail sentences.” He complained that Willis was trying to “prosecute a very popular president” and was engaged in “a strictly political Witch Hunt!”
There is no good time for the kind of grim legal news Trump has received this week — but right now is particularly bad….
